That may be a really good idea.

Doing the same thing over and over again is just nuts. We keep spinning our wheels and wasting time and money only to be out maneuvered.

My impression is that our lobby failed to convince the Obama administration that we represented the greater good. The other teams lobby convinced the administration that 100 thousand Jobs at Boeing would be in good shape if NAI got the nod. No one failed to mention that Boeing has already cut 150 thousand jobs over the last 20 years and outsources assembly as well as manufacturing. I guess the proposed Boeing plant being considered to be built in Asia probably won't go over well with Trump when he gets abreast of what Boeing is up to.

It may not be over so to speak. Trump knows a little about aviation, and the airline business as well as Boeing products. He hates NAFTA, and I think he's smart enough to know that Open Skies is just another NAFTA-SHAFTA. Maybe the younger crowd can get our union to change strategy and direction and maybe find a new voice. If not, another grass-roots group may be more effective. Nothing wrong with another organization forming for the purposes of advancing the causes of the professional aviator in the US. Maybe a pincer movement is what is required.
